100 Buds and Blooms on the "Star Dozen** within Two Months from Date of Planting^ 



Order No. 4705 , May 2Sr 1927 



Just a word in regard to the "Star Dozen" Roses whicli I ordered March 9. Owing to cold 

 weather I did not get the Roses planted until March 25. They certainly have made a wonderful 

 growth. Today (May 25) the Mrs. Aaron Ward and the Columbia each have full-blown Roses on 

 them, while all of the others will be in full bloom in a very few days. All told, there are about 100 

 buds on the dozen. — C. N. K., Nodaway, Iowa. 



This set of 25 varieties was not easily decided upon, with so many very fine 

 Roses to select from, so to back up our own judgment we referred to our sales 

 record to tell us which were the most popular varieties among the thousands 

 of our Rose customers, and, in addition, we referred to the record that tells which 

 were the most popular according to the 1927 vote of Members of the American 

 Rose Society. With this evidence before us, we made our selection and are offer- 

 ing here 25 high-grade * Star Roses that will give the utmost satisfaction this 

 year and for years to come. 



You can see what most of these Roses are like by referring to the illustrations 

 in this book, for ten are illustrated in natural colors and thirteen are shown along 

 the tops of the Rose pages in black and white. 



Order early, stating the date you wish us to ship. Then plant as soon as 

 frost is out and your ground mellow.
